The SM (System Management) perspective in CICS Explorer provides different capabilities depending on the connections you choose to configure and the CICS TS version that you have. This post attempts to describe some of the differences with the connections you can use.
Before I begin, I should inform you that I am super-biased. I’m a CICSPlex SM developer and have been since I joined IBM almost 3 years ago now. However, I really think this is a superb product, that does a horrendously hard job. I like to think of CICSPlex SM as something that does all the painful, boring work so you just don’t have to. Now to me, that is pure value! So let’s get to it..
If you have CICS regions to manage or even just monitor, CICSPlex SM provides an ideal environment for getting your job done. With CICS TS 3.2 it now has a much improved installation that is integrated directly with CICS, so it has never been easier to try it out. Better yet, you don’t have to convince anyone to “show you the money” as it is bundled right there alongside CICS.
So why use CICSPlex SM? What makes it so great? Well here are 6 things, that I think makes CICSPlex SM a must have!
